Aristotle called us “social animals.†And he was right. We humans are defined by our connections to (and reliance on) each other. As sociology major at Fordham, you’ll study group life-the complex social and cultural world that shapes human experience, from the dynamic of two strangers passing on a city street to current trends in globalization. Sociology combines scientific and humanistic approaches to study the diversity of social relationships in our modern world. You’ll study urban and rural life; family patterns and relationships; social change and movements; inter-group relations; social class, environment, culture, and communications; and community responses to disasters-both natural and created. Through the careful analysis and evaluation of social phenomena, you’ll develop excellent critical thinking and research skills that will prepare you for graduate school or the professional world. We believe sociology can improve the quality of people’s lives by promoting awareness of the inequalities-race, class, gender, religion, citizenship, sexuality-so common across the globe. Sociological knowledge can make a difference in homes, communities, and countries. You’ll learn more than sociology here. You’ll also study philosophy, theology, history, mathematics, languages, science, and the performing arts through Fordham’s common core curriculum, the centerpiece of our liberal arts education. Sociology prepares you for a wide variety of careers that hinge on an understanding of group dynamics. In many professional schools, courses in sociology are part of the required training. You’ll graduate ready to pursue a career or graduate school in: social research criminology demography social psychology counseling mental health services It’s also highly relevant for: social work law enforcement public administration gerontology education rehabilitation social work market research environmental policy And it provides a useful background for those planning to enter: law business medicine international affairs community planning architecture politics communications human resources
